It might be side effects from your flu jab if you've not had this before

B12 tablets will do you no harm but it's whether you can absorb them or not? For them to help you.

The way round the doctor’s refusal to give you more regular injections, is self injection .

If you have pernicious anaemia b12 orally is a waste of time and money, you cannot absorb it

Not what you're looking for?
